View from the former SS Headquarters building (now the Department of Psychology of Warsaw University), on the south side of Stawki Street, towards a tram passing buildings on the north side of Stawki Street, which, during Word War 2, acted as a Jewish hospital. In 1942, Jews were detained here before their deportation to the extermination camp at Treblinka. A memorial plaque, with inscriptions in Polish and Hebrew, reads: 'The school and temporary hospital building served the detention of Jews before deportation to Treblinka.' Imprisoned Jews from Hungary and Greece were releaed from this building by soldiers of the Home Army after a fight with SS troops at the start of the Warsaw Uprising 1 August 1944. The building on the right currently houses The High School and Economics School Complex Number 1 (Zespol Szkol Licealnych i Ekonomicznych Nr 1). The Umschlagplatz Monument, marking the place of deportation to the Treblinka Death Camp for the residents of the Warsaw Ghetto, stands centre background, next to a building with the name, 'Mlodziezowy Dom Kultury Muranov.'
